Chosen.
The list from which the citizens of
Great Bend are to choose a mayor is
growing. Besides those mentioned in
our last weeks issue, we have heard
that the friends of DIR. S. J. Shaw are
urging him to make the race DIR.
Shaw is we'll known to almost every
person in the city, where he has built
up a large and lucrative practice.
His friends are numerous, and should
the city affairs be entrusted to him,
we have no doubt he would make an
excellent officer, alive to the interests
of the city and active in every good
work.
The DEMOCRAT is glad so many
good and available names are being
brought forward.

There are $50 days in the school

by one pupil it would be a loss of q
years. If persons do f.. not acquire
habits of regularity and punctuality

Athens reports that the recent
rains have caused the mountains to
split to pieces, and give their pom
derous sides to the plains below.
Toccoa mountain is the worst of all.
There are eleven slides on one side
OF the mountain. 1t first commence
ed during the wet weather to block off
in small Jumps, then as the noun
tain became soaked with water the
flakes OF dirt grew larger, until it
would start at the top of the noun
tain and come roaring down into the
valleys below, covering up whole
fields OF corn. Large trees were
brought down with the slide, and in
some cases LETT standing hundreds of
yards from where they grew on the
sides of the mountain. Some of the
slides were at least so feet thick,
and as they came rushing down, car
rying everything in their wake, it
was the grandest sight ever seen.
There was no damage done except to
few fields of corn that were at the
base Of the mountain. These are
covered completely up and will new
err be resurrected.

rience Friday afternoon while riding
On top ola car. After passing Ridge
way, he was engaged in putting down
brakes before crossing the bridge.
lie had his back turned toward the
bridge and forgot to lie down, though
the forward man called out to him in
time. He was struck on the back of
the head and pitched Lead long be-
tween two cars. His cloth es caught
on a coupling pin and he could not
extricate himself, and was dragged a
quarter of mile, when his clothes
gave way and he fell face downward
between the rails, fourteen cars pass
ing over him. His head and back
were struck by every beam as
the cars passed over him. Conductor
Allison placed him in the cab and
brought him to Columbia, S. c.,
where he was attended by DR.. Howe.
Strange to relate he never lost con
seriousness, and no bones were brok-
EN-, but his head, face and body were
literally covered with bruises, and
his legs swelled to an enormous size.
He is unable to move. His injuries
are not considered fatal. He had
been connected with the railroad for
fourteen years, and is a highly
thought of, reliable and faithful
workman.

1t is stated that hundred years
ago law OF Virginia made voting
compulsory. That is, says the Gull
pepper Exponent, every man quail
fed to vote and who failing to do so,
was liable to indictment by the grand
jury, and on prosecution, to be fined.
1t was the duty of sherifIs, who were
the principal agents in the conduct
of elections, to report delinquents,
and if they failed to do 50, they were
liable to be fined. - rchangf.
Times have changed since then,
and they have laws now to prevent
and punish men for voting more than
once. The cry of "repeaters" at the
ballot box, voting "often and late, :"
so corrupted the franchise that regis
tration laws were enacted as safe
guard to insure an honest vote, but
sometimes the count is not honest.
